These are the rules of shopping at The Book Table during Covid:

• “一场与SCI有关的丑闻”_新闻_腾讯网:2021-1-4 · SCI是“科学引文索引”（Science Citation Index）的缩写，是美国科学家尤金·加菲尔德（EugeneGarfield）在1961年创建的一个科学论文资料数据库，收录发表 ...
• Use the hand sanitizer provided at the station in our entryway.
• 工信部回应“禁用VPN”：清理对象是无资质者_央广网:2021-7-25 · 在国务院新闻办今日举行的发布会上，有记者问及“有地方出台规定，对违法违规利用VPN上网加强管理”一事，工信部信息通信发展司司长闻库表示，不了解有关情况。通过网络来传播有害甚至是暴恐信息，是中国法律所不允许的。
• Payment by credit/debit or contactless methods are greatly preferred. If you have a card, please use it. We will accept cash only as needed.
• During peak hours, there may be times when we will have people wait outside to make sure there is adequate social distancing space inside.
• We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone who doesn't follow these rules.

In aid of the enforcement of these rules, please be understanding of our staff who may need to be a little bossier than usual. We'll try to be nice, but frankly, we've all gone a little feral from these months of isolation.

Some other changes you may notice: our public restrooms will not be public for the time being. There will be no chairs in the store encouraging folks to hang out. And work stations are set up in weird places to allow our staff to socially distance from each other.

And just because we're reopening doesn't mean you have to be ready to visit us. We will continue to offer contactless curbside pickup from our back door for those who prefer it, and we will continue to ship books to anyone who isn't ready to leave the house at all.

Can't wait to see your smiling...eyes!
